The Lover

Susanna Copeland needs help, and the man who is right for the job is in a Texas jail cell. But the future of her ranch is at stake, and notorious Cherokee Eagle Jack Sixkiller is the only one who can help drive her cattle north. The trouble is Jack has to pose as her husband for her plan to work -- and the good-looking rebel is enjoying the ruse far too much. And having the rugged, infuriatingly, sexy lover at her side is starting to feel shockingly right to Susanna as well!

The last thing Jack wants is to receive orders from some take-charge female. Still, there's something about Susanna's smile -- and the sensuous fire she tries to but can't hide -- that makes him want more than a sham, "marriage." The voluptuous lady will share his bed before the long, hard trail to Kansas ends! But how can he ignore this growing feeling of love that accompanies his burning desire ... and threatens his cherished freedom?
